[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think in the late 80s and 90s we dressed so very differently.  We were, as a pp noted, often purposely in "grunge" clothes.   I wore beat up stuff from the Army Navy store, and I wasn't a particular trend-follower - its just what we did back then.  I do think kids today are much more fashion conscious and spend time trying to be pretty.  [/quote]

The "rich" and "elite" comments are out of touch. Ivies are way more diverse these days and financial aid is extremely generous. These days 20% of Harvard undergrads don't pay tuition. 70% received some kind of aid. [/quote]

Your post is a bit contradictory. You'd be thinking that Ivy kids today are worse dressed as it's more diverse and less affluent student body compared to 20-30 years ago, but the poster talking about the 1980s/1990s is saying they were grungy in those days while today's kids are more fashion conscious.

The shocking cost of higher education means that a lot of mere upper middle class kids are now getting financial aid. The schools still struggle recruit students from genuine working class families, especially white working class families. [/quote]
